Risk Warning

Collective Investment Schemes in Securities (CIS) should be considered as medium to long-term investments. The value may go up as well as down and past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. CIS’s are traded at the ruling price and can engage in scrip lending and borrowing. A schedule of fees, charges and maximum commissions is available in the Key Investor Information and on request from the Manager. There is no guarantee in respect of capital or returns in a portfolio. A CIS may be closed to new investors in order for it to be managed more efficiently in accordance with its mandate. CIS prices are calculated on a net asset basis, which is the total value of all the assets in the portfolio including any income accruals and less any permissible deductions (including brokerage, STT, VAT, auditor’s fees, bank charges, trustee and custodian fees and the annual management fee) from the portfolio divided by the number of participatory interests (shares) in issue. Forward pricing is used. Where foreign securities are included in a portfolio there may be potential constraints on liquidity and the repatriation of funds, macroeconomic risks, political risks, foreign exchange risks, tax risks, settlement risks; and potential limitations on the availability of market information. The investor acknowledges the inherent risk associated with the selected investments and that there are no guarantees.

KEY INVESTOR INFORMATION

This document provides you with the key investor information about the Fund. It is not marketing material. The information

is required by law to help you understand the nature and the risks of investing in this Fund. You are advised to read it so you

can make an informed decision about whether to invest.

RANMORE GLOBAL EQUITY FUND PLC (THE “FUND”) USD INVESTOR CLASS (ISIN: IE00B746L328)

OBJECTIVES AND INVESTMENT POLICY

The investment objective of the Fund is to outperform the MSCI

World Index (as defined in the Prospectus) ("Index") and to

provide capital growth over a medium to long-term time horizon.

The Fund is actively managed in reference to the Index as the

Fund aims to outperform the Index and its performance is

compared to the Index in marketing materials. Investments in

the portfolio are not specifically selected from the constituents

of the Index, hence the Fund's investment policy is in no way

constrained by the extent to which its investments and their

weightings differ to its Index and the degree of deviation from

the Index may be significant. The selected equities' weightings

are derived through a bottom up investment process rather than

through deriving their weightings from the Index. The Fund will

invest in shares listed on Recognised Markets in accordance with

the requirements of the Central Bank of Ireland and which meet

the regulatory criteria (regulated, operate regularly, be

recognised and open to the public) and which are listed in the

Prospectus. It is not expected that the Fund will have a focus in

any particular country or sector.

Essential features of the product which a typical investor should

know:

• The Fund will comprise a diversified portfolio of primarily large

and mid-sized companies from a range of industry sectors and

geographic regions.

• While the Fund's fundamental investment policy is investment

in shares, the Fund may also invest up to 10% of its net assets

in investments in financial derivative instruments ("FDI") for

efficient portfolio management purposes. The Fund is currently

permitted to invest in options for efficient portfolio

management purposes.

• Shares in the Fund may be redeemed on demand, subject to

certain restrictions, on each Business Day.

• The Fund will have discretion to select the shares it will

hold, and the Fund aims to outperform the Index.

• The Fund will reinvest any income that it earns from its

investments in additional shares/investments.

• The Fund may from time to time hold substantial cash

balances.

Other Information:

• Representative KIID: In addition to describing the USD

Investor Class (ISIN: IE00B746L328), the Key Investor

Information Document may also be used as a

representative of the EUR Investor Class

(IE00B6ZCS539), GBP Investor Class (IE00B61ZVB30)

and USD Advisor Class (IE00B6ZNY252) of the Fund.

• Investment in the Fund is suitable for investors who

expect to maintain their investment over the medium

to long-term horizon.

• No currency hedging takes place in any of the share

Classes of the Fund. All the Classes of the Fund will

derive their currency exposure from the underlying

shares held in the portfolio and will not be hedged

against its benchmark currency. This creates exposure

to currency movements. The difference between the

returns in the EUR and GBP Classes and the USD Class

is due only to changes in the EUR/USD and GBP/USD

exchange rates over the measurement periods.

• For full investment objectives and policy details, please

refer to the section of the Prospectus entitled

“Investment Objectives and Policies.”
